So Spartans of #Gaming, does this short stories collection in a similar format to Halo: Evolutions tickle your fancy?

Some of the Halo community like to complain about everything 343 does. Sometimes they have valid complaints, however mostly it's the same tired Bungie fanboys that still wish it was 2004 or 2007 as really they cannot cope with change.
343 really do excel at getting in great authors to expand this wonderful universe.
Personally I look forward to this book that will probably be available in audio for those that prefer to listen than read.

9 RepliesEdited by Sorana3: 5/23/2016 8:06:04 AMIt has Shadow of Intent in it. Even though I wish the book was its own separate paperback (especially for the gorgeous cover art) I'm more than willing to buy this collection just for that one story. I just wish I didn't have to wait till September 20th for it 😞 EDIT: It's been only 10 minutes since I've learned of this installment and I can already feel my mind going crazy just thinking about how long I have to wait. I think I'll just go cry in a corner for 4 months 😭😭😭😭😭

I love Halo's lore, but I still live by Bungie's original design of Forerunners = Ancient Humans, not the convoluted mess it is now. I dont like where 343 took the story, the return of the flood against a combined Human/Covenant force would have been far better.

4 RepliesWith Brian Reed still writing Halo stories any integrity 343 might've had in terms of story has fallen away. The fact he's still employed by them, so much so he's writing important lore stories after already showcasing his failings in Escalation and Halo 5, is baffling.

Most likely that I will.

2 RepliesIf it has a story by Eric Nylund, then I might take a look at it

1 ReplyI am. Halo Evolutions had memorable stories. If it's got anything on the level of Headhunters and Mona Lisa I will be very happy.
